has been said, and with more than a grain of truth, that the best way to build a crown green would be to assemble
a gang of Irish navvies and ask them to build a flat green. In short, where a flat green is open, honest and true
a crown green can be as tricky as a barrowful of monkeys. And learning how to read such a green was half the battle
to competing well in the sport. By the end of the game Bond hoped he had learned enough from Fred about how to do
this, and to play the game, or at least play it as well as Dr Goldnojaws. He would very soon find out.
